...subject to teach. I see Physics as the science that allows all the other sciences to occur, and I find it helpful to use Physics demonstrations when studying the subject. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that whoever is doing the talking is doing the learning, so my students will be doing the leg...

...I am fanatical about spelling, punctuation, grammar, writing style, and substance. The written word is not something to dread or fear as the ability to read and write well can do nothing but open doors for you in the future. I consider myself a pretty laid-back, positive person with an approachable personality, and I never...

...make such a connection with the author, our reading becomes deeper and more relevant to our own lives. As for writing, this is an extension of one's thinking, so learning how to write with proficiency also means learning how to think with proficiency. Writing is a big subject, however, and becoming proficient can be a...

...that "all work and no play" makes students tired and yields to difficulty with focus. I overcome this by rewarding positive progress with fun sessions, game days, trivia, or a reward to encourage determination and reinforce students' resolve. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading, playing paintball, and am an avid gamer.

I am interested in tutoring online and helping students increase their knowledge of American History.
I enjoy working on genealogy, documenting family history and photos.... My philosophy of teaching focuses on student-centered teaching. I feel it is important to engage the student in active learning through activities that promote an excitement in gaining new knowledge and understanding of a specific academic area. Teaching activities need to encourage critical-thinking and problem-solving skills as the student reads through texts and new information. These skills will translate into other areas of their life. The teaching environment should also include a caring and trusting atmosphere where the student feels the teacher is sincere in helping them through the educational process.
